Benson and Shelvey

[jedi_master]

Unsure if already known, but was too excited not to post when I saw Benny. Just got to Fratton Park - both on the pitch!

Let's hope, that unlike Redmond, warming the bench isn't too much for them.

Both on bench. One step closer.

Benny!

[Quicknick]

Shelvey!

And both not used, so what's the point of them being on the bench???

I hate him being called 'Benny'. Makes me think of 'Crossroads', during which calling someone 'Benny' became an insult.

But you will be a youngster, dear reader, and you live in a different era to an old fogey like me.

How neither got a look in today is a bit beyond me. I mean I expect Benson will not come on unless we are behind or well in front (let's face it he's going to o struggle to protect anything) but Shelvey? Surely this is why we signed him? To add a bit of creativity. He's hardly a shrinking violet made of glass player like Benson.

Esteve being called Steve is even more cringey in my opinion.

Thought they both played well today

Perfect opportunity for Parker to put Benny on for Sarmiento and Shelvey for Laurent. Nothing to lose and both with a point to prove
